City vs Birmingham - Official Match Thread

[Cobwebcat]

Opportunity missed today for sure but that was down to the players today not Mancini. Everyone was happy with the line up... Johnson starting etc. Tevez looked knackered and nobody has a god given right to stay on.

If you want to blame someone then (if he isn't injured) we could have really done with Ade today.

If we can't beat brum at home I think we have problems. That being said were still in a good position. We need to stop dropping points though.

The idiot doesnt make it any easier for himself when he goes and takes off our matchwinner for GARETH FUCKING BARRY. Whether Jo is good enough should not be called into question, he is a striker, and when you're 0-0 at home to Birmingham with 5 minutes to go and you go and do that, it really is borderline managerial suicide. Even more bizzarre than the Ade-Zab sub.

Its alright though fellas, weve got another 6 months of the turgid shite left at least.

Do we do anywork on the training field with our set pieces?

We are shocking when it comes to attacking set pieces! This time last year we statistically the best!!

I am becoming very restless with this current regime, but who is available??

 

[stavros]

time for an attacking manager.. so much attackiing options and no goals

Why do so very few realise that by changing the manager we will be BACK TO SQUARE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, lets get rid of Manchini, bring in someone else. He will then get rid of the majority of the team, spend 200 million and then this time next season we will be saying...'we cant keep defending like this. At least Manchinis team knew how to defend. Out *insert any managers name you like here*.

United have been shocking of late but you dont see everyone calling for fergies head do you!!! FFS!!! Get a fooking grip everyone.

why dont you get a grip and see the situation for what it really is. stop telling yourself everythings good. it isnt we rarely play well.
he has fantastic players at his disposal and the way we set up is awful . dire . shite.rubbish.

if that **** ferguson had the squad we have they would be top of the league.

i think we are under achieving personally

i think with the squad they have they are over achieving

didnt effect chelsea when they brought in hiddink!!

No because he was a caretaker manager!!! WTF kind of reasponse is that!!!
Sure, a caretaker manager - take this established title winning side and spend 200 million revamping it for the sake of 6 months at which point we will be bringing in a fulltime manager!!!

Thats because they have a well oiled team. Well drilled and know each other. We dont hence the reason were underperforming - which in itself makes me laugh because were 4th and 3 points in the clear having not conceded a goal in the last team games and look fairley solid.

I dont think everything is all rosey but I dont think you need to have a serious think - will replacing the manager get us into the champions league any quicker?
Or will it disrupt the players, back room staff, team and cost us another 200 million!

For f*ck sake people, get a grip on reality instead of moaning, YOUR team didn`t lack any effort, rather Brum played well and got a draw with a fighting performance despite being over run at times.

Yes the luck was against us, but the tactics were the right ones as proved by the chances made...........and missed by the players the manager has at his disposal for now.

We have no divine right to win every game, an if you look at the true picture we are still short of a creative midfield player and a strike partner for Tevez, Mario may well have made the difference but he wasn`t there as an option for Roberto.

 

[c4lv3rt]

Iv backed mancini week after week, its fair enough
Blaming the players but people have got to realise
th subs were fuckin piss poor im well pissed off atm.
Shit performance no urgancy fuckin shite!

You mean at the end of last season - don't try and spin it as if Mark hghes was some sort of set piece specialist - we scored just as many under Mancini last season from set pieces

That was a boring fucking game.
Birmingham had a back 5 or 6 at times which makes scoring difficult, but we didn't look impressive at all.
Against West Brom we were a team, Super Mario made the difference, Tevez wasted a lot of chances and others effort, we played better when he was taken off.
Two points dropped in a frustrating game, but it takes two teams to tango.
Corners are a waste of time for us, no headed goals?
They should be on £10k a week maximum with a bonus for winning.
£200k plus for playing like that? Money has stopped making sense!
